Because each class and organization, as well as the faculty, is re- presented, the Council functions according to the desires of the majority of the students and faculty members. With the exception of the faculty advisor who is elected by the student body, the principal and the vice-principal who are ex-officio members, the members are chosen directly by popular vote from the classes and organizations. The election of Student Council olficers, at the first session was important because the council's success depended largely upon the ability, willingness, and competent leadership of these officers. Mert Schwensen was chosen president, Bonnie Davis, the vice-president, Iris Todd, the secretary. Regular meetings were held every alternate Wednesday noon, with several special meetings being called to solve extra or unexpected problems. Among the successful achievements of this year's Council was the sponsorship of the an- nual carnival, which was more profitable and better attended than any previous one. The Council also sponsored a Courtesy Clean- Up Week early in 1946. During the week, neat- ness, cleanliness, thoughtfulness of others, and courtesy in general were streessed in the class- rooms and chapels. Ft P l l I VI' MEN In order to create better school spirit, pep, and enthusiasm the Council voted that the school song be included in every regular chapel and suggested that it be sung at the basketball games. Handbooks containing the school song, the pep song, the school yells, and other valu- able school information were printed and given to each student at the beginning of the second semester. This, too, was an important step in the promotion of school spirit. During the week preceding Christmas vaca- tion, the members decorated the main hall with red and green rope, bells, wreathes, and a tree. The members of this years Student Council and the organizations they represent were: Kale Gentry, Freshmen, Bonnie Davis, Sophomores, Luella Minter, Juniors, Iris Todd, Seniors, Pa- tricia Williams, Girl Reserve, Dick Hammerli, Hi-Y, Mert Schwensen, Boys' Booster Club, Marilyn Heikes, Girls' Booster Club, Iris Dugan, Future Homemakers Club, David Carnahan, Fu- ture Farmers of America, Gerald Martin, Annual StaH, Marilyn Baldwin, Promoter Staff, Miss Lady, faculty representative, Mr. Stevens and Mr. Unger, ex-officio members. Besides maintaining a democratic spirit in the school, the Student Council members each gain- ed a personal benefit-that of democratic leader- ship training. With such a start in democratic government, not only the Council members but every student in C. C. C. H. S. should realize the importance of free government and be ca- pable enough to carry out his duty in life.
